Scott Zoromski served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Honduras from 1978 to 1980 as an industrial arts teacher. He applied to the Peace Corps after two years of college, hoping the experience would give him clarity on what he wanted to do with his life. After ten weeks of teacher training at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, he continued training in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Zoromski was assigned to teach industrial arts in a secondary school in Olanchito. The school was built and equipped with help from USAID. Zoromski also helped construct a new schoolhouse in a nearby town on weekends. After completing his bachelor's degree, he went on to a life-long career in teaching. He remained in close touch with his Honduran friends, and finally had the chance to return to Honduras to visit them in 2016.
